The project will see UXC migrate Defence’s existing PMKeyS HR functionality, based on PeopleTools Version 7.63, to the latest version of PeopleSoft, PeopleTools Version 8.48.

It will also move a range of payroll functions to PeopleSoft Global Payroll and Human Capital Management 9. The project also includes security implementation, change management, training development and delivery.

The Minister for Veterans' Affairs and Minister for Defence Personnel, Alan Griffin, said the project was a key component in the Integrated Master Plan for the Personnel Systems Modernisation and HR Shared Services Reform at Defence.

It would also support the objectives of the Defence Strategic Reform Program and Pay Remediation Task Force.

UXC’s Oracle division, Red Rock Consulting, will commence work on the $16 million project in May. It is expected to be complete by the first half of 2012.
